"Save up"... Slow down...

Okay. So far, everything I planned has been a great disappointment. But of course I'm not giving up just yet. I found something that I think is working for me. I'm able to save up a bit but in a very dogged way. Well, like they say, the more the merrier... I mean, slowly but surely.

Yep, a couple of months ago, I signed up for a "Save up account" offered by the same bank who takes care of our payroll. It's all good. I just enrolled my salary account to automatically transfer funds to another account. It's just a few hundred bucks per payday but it's really working for me. And if I haven't spent my whole salary, I just transfer the remaining to that account.

I hope that in just a few years, I can use this money for another venture, probably ;p

1st project - write a chicklit

We're done with the thoughts... finished with the drama (for now)... This moment is the time for actions! For my first project, I will try, no, I will start writing a novel! Nothing big time for now, my target is to write a chicklit. It's more of your average romance novel rather than the best-selling ones... No James Patterson here yet... hahaha...

My friend said that this publisher usually gives out about 5000-7000 payment per story... The story will be about 100-150pages... Hmm, I wonder how long it will take me to write that... Sigh... I need help... I need inspiration... I need to resign from work and focus on this...

Nope, bad idea. I can't leave work. I don't have money yet for insurance. Plus, that's an easy 13K to lose... I can't afford to lose my job... So, I guess I'll need to work extra hours to get this done...

Wish me luck.
